What To Expect
Given Hamm’s dramatic pedigree, audiences might be surprised by how naturally he leans into comedy, but longtime fans will know he can steal scenes with great timing. Since he previously played Don Draper inSNLsketches, it will be interesting to see whether Hamm revisits that suave, chain-smoking persona or does something totally unexpected. He could spoofLandmanwith a cowboy-themed sketch or parody prestige TV tropes with something related toYour Friends and Neighbors. Either way – with his mix of charm, range, and willingness to get weird – Hamm’s return toSaturday Night Liveshould promise some laughs.
